The number of web developers and designers is by no means less. But the question here is – is there enough quality? As we all know, Joomla has risen to exponential popularity of late. A lot of credit for that goes to its immense capabilities, and the fact that it builds and maintains highly efficient and secure enterprise websites. Its versatility does not end there. It can also any other type of websites, like social media and networking websites, government or institutional websites, enterprise networks, and even complex ecommerce portals. However, the real issue lies in quality. With the increase in the demand of Joomla websites, are there enough Joomla developers in India who offer tremendous quality to cater to that demand? Or is the choice limited to a number of second-rate developers?

To be fair to the developers, most of the clients who choose open source platforms do not have enough budgets or do not want to splash the cash even if they have it. With such a miserly attitude, one cannot expect a bomb of a website to be dropped. What can be expected is an extremely mediocre website that fails to stand out from the crowd. However, if the budget is allotted as per the wish of the developer, are there enough developers who can make justified use of those resources and produce something stunning? Probably not.

India has emerged as a serious superpower in the IT world. A huge amount of work is being outsourced to our country from abroad, which is a positive sign for the numerous ambitious designers and developers here. However, it must be noted that most of the developers are extremely mediocre, with little or no experience in content management systems. The teams on most companies are limited in terms of exposure and expertise, and many a time a company has to make do with web developers who code in multiple languages and work on various technologies at one time.

If you’re planning to choose a developer to design and develop your website in Joomla, then consider the following points:

Does the company have enough experienced developers in its team?

Do I like the portfolio of the company and the work that they have done? This is because they will do similar work for me.

Does the developer have sufficient in-depth knowledge of her domain?

Does the developer really understand what exactly I want from my website and is she in a position to provide that?
